Welcome to Varanasi

Varanasi is one of the oldest living cities in the world, with a continuous history dating back 3,000 to 5,000 years. Today, it retains much of the alure of the ancient world. The center of the Hindu world, Varanasi touts an unrivaled diversity and a unique sense that can be experienced nowhere else.

We hope to give you a little tase of this great city, as well provide you with practical assistance for a successful visit to the East--either via the web, or in person.
